Please tell us how you have integrated global awareness into your English as a Second Language (ESL) curriculum. Feel free to have discussions with one another regarding this topic. Also, upload any applicable documents you have created and share any useful links you have found.
- In order to allow students' to learn from one another about diverse cultures while expanding their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills, I developed the Where I Am From multi-genre research project for a sophomore class of ELLs of varying proficiency levels. For students who are Entering, Beginning, and on the lower end of Developing, this project is limited to the production of an I Poem. A complete explanation of this project, including work samples, can be found here.
- For students who are more advanced, the above project can be done with the entire class, and then expanded into the full multi-genre project. Adjusting genre expectation is a simple way to differentiate this assignment.
